Varian Goes To 700k Gns For Sea The Stars (Ire) Colt

Longview Stud consigned a colt by Sea The Stars (Ire) (lot 1048) during Book 2 on Tuesday, and the chestnut son of dual stakes winner Along Came Casey (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}) caught the eye of Roger Varian at 700,000gns to take the lead for the session. Also placed three times at Group 3 level, the mare has already produced the G3 Darley S. winner Feliciana De Vega (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). Bred by Highview Bloodstock, Ltd., the colt's extended family contains GI Beverly D. S. heroine Fire The Groom (Blushing Groom {Fr}), the dam of G1 July Cup and G1 Nunthorpe S. hero and sire Stravinsky (Nureyev).

1.20 Killarney, Mdn, €18,000, 2yo, 8f 60yT
WATER NYMPH (IRE) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), one of two Ballydoyle representatives in the line-up, is a half-sister to the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Nassau S. heroine Fancy Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and the stable's G1 Dewhurst S.-placed Smuggler's Cove (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

1.55 Yarmouth, Novice, £9,950, 2yo, 7f 3yT
PHERENIKOS (IRE) (Shamardal) is a half-brother to this year's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who was such a big loss to Godolphin, Charlie Appleby and to racing in general when suffering his life-ending injury last month. One of the last of the Shamardals, the relative of another high-class Godolphin stalwart in Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) faces a tough task on debut opposed by the Gosdens' well-regarded Alzahir (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), not seen since disappointing when too free in the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot.

Sea The Stars’ Flying Honours On Top In The Zetland

Flying Honours, who was 2-7 when caught out by a sprint finish last time, had placed himself among the key 2023 Derby prospects previously when beating the subsequent Haynes, Hanson & Clark winner Stormbuster (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by 5 1/2 lengths in Salisbury's Listed Stonehenge S. also at a mile Aug. 19.

Charlie Appleby was delighted to have him back on track. “As William said, you can see how we got beat last time. They have gone a good gallop today and he has had to stay and stay well to get the job done,” he said. “After the last run we were head scratching slightly,” he added. “I know the pace of the race was never going to suit him, but we weren't sure whether to run him or put him away for the winter but I'm glad we have run him.

“He has grown up again since that last run and we can put him to bed for the winter now on the back of getting his head back in front and looking towards those Derby trials in the spring. We will put him one of those trials in the spring and see where we are.”

Jane Chapple-Hyam said of Blanchland, “I want another go at the winner, where that will be I don't know. He has done well and improved so let's hope he has a nice winter. Mr. Harris and I had a discussion at lunch and I would say that The Derby would be a mid-season aim.”

 

Pedigree Notes

Flying Honours' dam Powder Snow (Dubawi {Ire}), whose career-best was a win in the G3 Prix Fille de l'Air, is a half-sister to the Listed Woodcote S. third Sea Of Snow (Distorted Humor) and to the G2 Diana-Trial and G3 Grosser Preis der Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung-placed Snow (Ger) by Sea The Stars's Sea The Moon (Ger). The third dam is Snow Bride (Blushing Groom {Fr}), the G3 Princess Royal S. and G3 Musidora S. winner who was awarded the Oaks in 1989 on the disqualification of Aliysa (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) and later produced the Derby, King George and Arc hero Lammtarra (Nijinsky II). Powder Snow's first foal is the winning 3-year-old full-sister to the winner Snow Tempest (Ire), while her yearling filly is by Siyouni (Fr) and she also has a colt foal by Invincible Spirit (Ire).
